Can't block a number without +
My problem is I can't block a incoming call number without +.
E.g. I can block "98761234" & "+85298761234" but it can't block "85298761234".
The number still occur after i clicked block the number.

Block all unknown/private number calls
Like Android, have an option for users to block all unknown numbers/private numbers from calling. This would block all numbers from calling the user and only allow contacts listed in the user's contact list to call the user.

Ability to share screen with computer sound on Mac devices
It would be really awesome if the Skype developers could implement the ability to share computer audio along with the screen share to Mac users, as windows users already have this feature. Especially in the current climate of the pandemic and lockdown, more people are inclined to watch movies and play games together. I know the popular app to use is Zoom nowadays, but personally, my partner and I have noticed Skype has been having better performance when it comes to screen share (less lag when watching videos, movies, etc). I hope they add this feature for Mac users one…

Mic Check Option
Hi, I can no longer use your app on my tablet because it refuses to recognize my tablet as having a mic. If you could give us back the feature that allows us to alter mic sensitivity. That would be great. But for now i have to find a new application to do calls with. Thanks.

"Account blocked"
I just wasted 4 hours trying to fix a problem. I dialed a Skype-to-phone number and got "Account blocked". I spent the next 4 hours chasing down rabbit holes suggested by the virtual assistant and her evil minions. I finally lied to the 20 questions and said the problem was with Windows, which got me to a human, who finally connected me to a person named Maurice, who made a simple suggestion that really ought to be listed as a cause in your knowledge base -- I use a VPN. Apparently it picked a poisoned IP address. All the other…

Merging two calls on Skype
I have just spoken to a customer rep (15/06/21). Who has advised me that this feature is no longer available. After she spoke to someone in tech. This is a very useful feature. That I would love to see return. The merge option is greyed out on my phone (iPhone 11 pro). I have the most up to date version of Skype installed.

Admin control of groups is to be incorporated.
The skype groups need to be made more secure by giving Admin control so that other members of the group would not be able to meddle into the affairs without the permission or authorization of the admin who created the group.

Screen Access control
Skype,
When have one to one call or group call, can you please give screen control access to access a particular person screen, most of them using a professional account, so when we need to access screen we going other application like Zoom, TeamViewer, if you provide skype itself it will help more.

Someone left the call notification while sharing screen
Dear team,
I'm sharing my text editor screen in a group call with 5 members. If someone left the call, It's not shown or notified to me until I check the Skype for the number of members in call or someone has to say that he/she left the call. It would be better to notify with a sound or popup message for the person who's sharing the screen.1 vote -

Answerphone greeting
I am dismayed to find out that I can no longer record a personal greeting on the skype phone number that our organisation uses. I've been trying off and on for 4+ years to figure this out. Finally got through to one of the support staff and he told me that this can no longer be done. What a waste of time that has been!
Please re-instate this feature as soon as possible.
